Which CABLE MODEM to get?

There are a lot of cable modems out there.. Does it matter which one to get (assuming it's compatible with Cox@Home, of course)? Or are there performance differences?

Please post information about your own Cable Modem, and if possible mention how much you like/dislike it.

Thanks!
 
yeah Vboy cox inicludes a cable modem with their service in Texas... It is a Toshiba DOCSIS here.
 
Yeah, just get one with the service...you shouldn't have to go and buy your own. If you do you are with the wrong service dude 😉
 
If you use your own cable mode, you get a monthly discount of $10 !
So if you plan on having cable modem service for over a year, it's worth investing in your own cable modem.

For example, it's $45/mo with THEIR (rented) cable mode, or $35/mo with MY OWN cable modem. I could also buy it from the provides, but they charge $200 for it (read "too expensive&quot😉.
 
I have the 3com "Sharkfin" and I have not had any problems with it. Optimum online lets you pick among a couple of modems, and the lest problems have occurred with the sharkfins so if they are available in your neighborhood, or if there is another 3com modem I would go with that, as spending a little extra for a better brand will likely save you form some hassles later on.
